Description
The state secrets privilege is a judicially created evidentiary privilege that allows the government to resist court-ordered disclosure of information during litigation, if there is a reasonable danger that such disclosure would harm the national security of the U.S. The Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) provides pretrial procedures that permit a trial judge to rule on questions of admissibility involving classified information before introduction of the evidence in open court. The use of classified evidence may also implicate criminaldefendants’ rights to exculpatory information and witnesses’ statements held by the prosecution, or their right to confront witnesses under the Sixth Amendment. Congressional action may affect the operation or coverage of the state secrets privilege. In 2008, a federal district court held that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act supplanted the statesecrets privilege with respect to civil claims of unlawful electronic surveillance.
